Looks good!
I always wondered myself. I see them using a coarse pad with the wheel attached to some kind of wheel so they can spin it and just press the brush or what ever onto the metal while spinning it. I was thinking on just using a bar stool myself.

I gave up on my set. I used everything I could find to strip the paint and its a b*tch! Im just waiting till I settle on a new set of wheels and then I'll take the ones Im redoing in for some blasting.

What did you get charged for the blasting?

[BreakMyWallet]

yea dude fock stripping the wheel and trying to get in every tight spot. it sucks.

my buddy is doing the wheels for 20 each

Good deal! My wheels arent even that intricate by design. Its just a damn good powder coating.

Someone on CL wanted like 55 for each wheel. Dude was a moron though and wanted 65 to strip and paint and then he told me he was gunna use Rustoleum.

Since when is it more tedious to blast the wheels than it is to prep, paint, and clear?

Where do you live? Near Delaware by chance?

[BreakMyWallet]

naw man. live in sunny socal!

[BreakMyWallet]

[Tuck&Poke]
